91% Of Online Ticket Sales For 'Star Trek'

That the latest from big online ticket seller Fandango which also reports that Star Trek has sold out hundreds of opening weekend showtimes across the country, including showtimes in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Charlotte, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Fresno, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Colorado Springs, Indianapolis, Nashville, and Portland, Oregon. Fandango says its Star Trek ticket sales are far outpacing the site’s sales for X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the same point in that film’s sales cycle. Theater managers are adding multiple Thursday night showtimes to meet the fan demand. Also, according to a Fandango survey of more than 4,000 moviegoers planning to see Star Trek, 64% say they are not upset that William Shatner isn’t in the movie.

May open big, but will drop like a stone thereafter. It’s good, but not great and doesn’t take trek to where Nolan took Batman.

The Dark Knight was too ‘dark’ for a lot of people. This looks to be fun, exciting and action packed! I’m definitely glad Leonard Nimoy is in it, but no Shatner is no loss.
